Visionary Enterprise Applications


In todays fast-moving economy, a powerful combination of imperatives is impacting all businesses:

XXOvercoming internal inefficiencies that restrict your ability to respond and an ever-changing business dynamic to drive new
products and services
XXSatisfying elevated user expectations for levels of responsiveness, ease-of-use, and secure access to enterprise applications
regardless of location or device
XXBlending business processes across multiple internal facilities with the processes and systems of your customers, suppliers,
and partners
XXResponding to increasing globalization, requiring you to compete with an expanding landscape of competitors

XXDelivering in-context business analysis to support real-time decisions as well as short-, mid-, and long-term strategic goals

Epicor understands these challenges, as well as the opportunities they can create. We recognize that sometimes there is no roadmap
for adapting to shifting requirements and market conditions.

In response, weve evolved the visionary Epicor ERP to change your relationship with ERP and optimize performance across your
entire enterprisewhether you operate on a local, regional, or global scale.

With Epicor, you can build an inspired business by implementing service-oriented technologies that deliver your essential business
processes, built on a platform for changeadaptable to business context, and information-rich in operation.

Collaboration Inspires Success


The principles of Enterprise Resource Planning are founded on the benefits of working together. Advances in consumer-oriented
technologies have raised expectations of collaboration to new levels. At Epicor, we see the business advantages of ERP for everyone
and believe that the exchange of ideas made possible by stronger collaboration drives innovation. Epicor ERP fosters collaboration
with functionally rich, easy-to-use solutions and embedded social principles.

The elevated expectations of users result in the requirement for ERP to become more accessible, both for heads down users and
the ad hoc and indirect users in the broader workforce. As you think about your organization, what proportion of your colleagues
are directly engaged with your current ERP solutions? As your core business solution, everyone has a need for some level of
interaction with ERP, however infrequent. Epicor ERP addresses these challenges by augmenting traditional ERP capabilities with a
new approach to collaboration.

Embedded within Epicor ERP, Epicor Social Enterprise (ESE) supports the fundamental shift in the way organizations collaborate, both
internally and externally. Depending on circumstances, examples might include collaborating around a project, a customer incident,
a quality issue, a procurement challenge, or a planning event. ESE changes your relationship with ERP, enabling everyone to securely
engage within your businesses and leverage ERP to make more informed decisions. Online social engagement reduces the frequency
of meetings and improves the speed of decision making, delivering a new level of business efficiency. Activity streams are used to
monitor changes, conversations, and discussion topics and can be accessed in a browser or in context of the relevant ERP form.
Epicor Enterprise Search delivers the ability to mine the knowledge retained across all Epicor ERP, including ESE activity streams. These
familiar embedded components enable users to easily subscribe and unsubscribe to information essential to their role as and when
the situation demands.

Collaboration within Epicor ERP also extends to more effective trading relationships with customers and suppliers. Epicor Commerce
Connect delivers a seamless online trading environment allowing you to efficiently engage directly with your business partners,
further strengthening relationships to inspire greater success.

the future. Whether you are looking to procure your ERP solution on a software as a service (SaaS) subscription basis, as a managed
service or as an on premise solution, Epicor ERP gives you the freedom to choose.

As the only ERP solution that can be deployed in any mannerfrom on premise, virtualized, hosted, or true cloud in a single
version Epicor is uniquely positioned to enable you to focus on the functional needs of your business without compromise. Epicor
ERP has the flexibility to meet your budget profile and to scale up and out, giving you the freedom to change deployment approach
as business imperatives evolve.

Immediately Productive And Simply Easy to Use


The rise of consumer technologies, easy-to-use apps, and social networks has created a new imperative for business applications.
Traditional ERP can be notoriously complex to implement, use, and maintain; Epicor ERP is different. We focus on continuously
eliminating complexities, and providing innovative solutions that encourage the use of ERPfrom intuitive navigation to configurable
dashboardsto empower every user to create their own My ERP. We embed capabilities that make it simple for usersparticularly
infrequent usersto access information in real time, spurring innovation. To augment the inherent usability of Epicor ERP, we deliver
embedded help, embedded training courses, and our comprehensive Epicor University curriculum.

Our focus on reducing complexity enables Epicor ERP to deliver exceptional ease of adoption. For example, we incorporate tools
and workbenches to simplify implementation and streamline upgrades. These allow you to stay current and take advantage of new
capabilities as quickly as they become available.

Responsive ERP Thats as Mobile as You Are


The days of coming to the office, logging into an ERP system, then leaving it all behind at the end of the day are long gone. Work
has moved beyond a PC in a cubicle or office: to the customer site, on the plant floor or in the warehouse, in the field or on a
supplier visit. In todays always-connected world, users demand access 24/7, with a consistent experience that flows between
devices. Support for touch and gestures and the ability to fully interact with business systemsbeyond simply drilling into analytics
is becoming the new normal.

End user demands for greater control over the user experience are increasing. Individuals expect to be able to manipulate screens and
dashboards in a manner that is relevant to a particular role, task or point in time.

Epicor recognizes the challenges these competing demands can have, and the implications for ERP to ensure enthusiastic adoption
throughout the organization. We focus on ensuring that our business architecture and business solutions enable you to stay ahead
of the curve, and your users are fully productive however they choose to interact with Epicor ERP.
